WHO’S BIGGER?

Rachel Zoe has never been known for having a small ego, but who knew she considered herself the most important woman in fashion. “Anna Wintour is one of my heroes, but they say I’m more influential,” Zoe tells Lynn Hirschberg in this Sunday’s issue of The New York Times Magazine. “As great as it is, Vogue won’t change a designer’s business. But if an unknown brand is worn by a certain person in a tabloid, it will be the biggest designer within a week.”

LUXURY BATTLE:

Fortune decided to make its annual luxury issue all about fashion — at least on the cover — by choosing to highlight pieces on Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs and Brooks Brothers. And while the cover may seem a departure for the business title, it’s another indicator the magazine is serious about the luxury category — and its ad dollars. The issue comes about a year after Fortune hired assistant managing editor John Brodie to cover luxury.

TRIPLE PLAY

Wallpaper is the next magazine to tap a guest editor, or more specifically, three: Hedi Slimane, Jeff Koons and Dieter Rams. Each has created a cover, plus inside pages. Slimane has contributed a set of 20 posters, using his own photography and typography. He also sat down for an interview with features director Nick Compton at the Mercer Hotel in New York. In the October issue, which hits newsstands in London today, Compton writes about how they ran into Marc Jacobs at the hotel. “Where Jacobs is ebullient, expansive, theatrical, and very much on home ground at the Mercer, Slimane is quiet, shy, unfailingly polite, self-deprecating, devoid, it seems, of the diva gene,” he writes (at least with journalists; Compton clearly wasn’t privy to Slimane’s hard-nosed contract negotiations with Dior executives). The former Dior Homme designer said he loves fashion design and misses it, but he doesn’t want to be taken hostage by a brand’s success. “So I need to follow my own principles, to feel that the project is right and that the timing makes sense.”

NEW GIG

Former Shop Etc. executive editor Charla Krupp has landed at More magazine as a fashion columnist. The column, which begins in the November issue, is a natural tie-in to her book, forthcoming in January, “How Not to Look Old.” Before Shop Etc., which Hearst folded in August 2006, Krupp worked at Glamour and In Style.
